"Robert Mapplethorpe began taking photographs in 1970 with a Polaroid camera given to him by a friend. Nearly twenty years later, when Mapplethorpe died at the age of forty-two, he was considered one of the most important photographers of his time. His elegant and sometimes shocking nudes, the black-and-white portraits, flower still lifes, and images of sexual sadomasochism had been exhibited widely and were the subject of serious critical attention in Europe and America. A few months after his death, Mapplethorpe became the focus of an acrimonious debate over federal funding of the arts when an exhibition of his work was canceled by the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The director of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, was subsequently acquitted of obscenity charges brought against him for presenting the same exhibition." "This is the definitive collection of Mapplethorpe's black-and-white photographs, drawing on the full range of his work, from the early Polaroids to the haunting self-portraits taken shortly before he died. It has been prepared in collaboration with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, which was established by the artist to provide funds for AIDS research and photographic projects."--Jacket.

4°, 224 S., zahlr. Abb., Kart., Min. gebrauchspurig, tadell From its inception in 1947, the Polaroid system inspired artists to experiment - to dazzling effect - with the cameras' unique technologies. Edwin Land, the inventor of the first Polaroid instant camera, remarked on his discovery, "Photography will never be the same." And he was right. This fascinating journey through the Polaroid era documents the evolution of instant photography. Hundreds of color images celebrate the myriad ways Polaroid photographs were used and ingeniously manipulated by Chuck Close, Walker Evans, David Hockney, Robert Mapplethorpe, Lucas Samaras, William Wegman, and others. In addition, the book features essays addressing the unique technology of instant photography and the marketing genius of the Polaroid Corporation. Interviews with artists reveal how Polaroids affected and, in many instances, forever changed the way artists captured the world around them. Text: engl. 1100 gr. Schlagworte: Photographie.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Circa viertausend Polaroids ersetzen Pierre Keller das Tagebuch von zehn oder fünfzehn Jahren seines Lebens. Sie entstanden im pulsierenden New York der Siebzigerjahre, wo er bis 1983 lebte und arbeitete, auf Reisen in Südamerika und im heimischen Lavaux. Kunstschaffende wie Nan Goldin, Keith Haring, Michel Basquiat und Robert Mapplethorpe waren seine Weggefährten. Erinnerungen an gemeinsame Erlebnisse, aber auch an die Tode der Menschen in seinen Bildern tauchen die Photographien von Pierre Keller in alle Farben des Regenbogens. Sie zeigen das ganze Spektrum des schwulen Lebens: Braune Haut, milchiges Fleisch, rote Schwänze, blanke Ärsche, weisse Dildos, freche Statements, die neongrüne Heimlichkeit der Bath Houses und Augenblicke nachdenklicher Poesie - zeitweise richtig blue. Anders als Mapplethorpe arbeitete Pierre Keller nie mit professionellen Photomodellen. Er fotografierte die Männer dort, wohin er ihnen gefolgt war, wohin sie ihm gefolgt waren. Seine SX-70 in der alten US-Armeehose stets bei sich beschreibt Keller das Photographieren als sexuellen Akt. Manchmal ging beides auch Hand in Hand. Selbstzensur kam nie in Frage, Genuss stand im Vordergrund: Schöne Männer, lukullische Freuden. Sein Blick ist durchaus auch ein kulinarischer. 'Antiporno', wie Jean Tinguely meinte, den Pierre Keller noch heute bewundert: Bilder für das Kino im Kopf. Doch diese pralle Fülle fand damals keinen Anklang. Photographie war noch nicht Galerienkunst. In 'My Colorful Life' kommen die Polaroids von Pierre Keller spät zu ihrem verdienten Ruhm.

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. The definitive collection of Robert Mapplethorpe's flower photographs in a sophisticated new edition Robert Mapplethorpe is one of the twentieth century's most important artists, known for his ground-breaking and provocative work. He studied painting, drawing, and sculpture in Brooklyn in the 1960s and started taking photographs when he acquired a Polaroid camera, in 1970. Beginning in 1973 and until his death in 1989, Mapplethorpe explored the flower with extraordinary dedication, using a range of photographic processes - from Polaroids to dye-transfer color works. In carefully constructed compositions, he captured roses, orchids, snapdragons, daisies, tulips and other species - both common and rare - and forever transformed the way we perceive a classic and familiar subject. The result - a stunning body of work - is collected in this elegant book, with a foreword by Mapplethorpe's close friend Dimitri Levas and an introduction by Herbert Muschamp. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Contains slight pencil underlining. Patricia Lee Smith (born December 30, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, author, and poet who became an influential component of the New York City punk rock movement with her 1975 debut album Horses. Called the "punk poet laureate", Smith fused rock and poetry in her work. Her most widely known song is "Because the Night", which was co-written with Bruce Springsteen. It reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978 and number five in the U.K. In 2005, Smith was named a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. In 2007, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On November 17, 2010, Smith won the National Book Award for her memoir Just Kids. The book fulfilled a promise she had made to her former long-time roommate and partner, Robert Mapplethorpe. She placed 47th in Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Artists published in December 2010 and was also a recipient of the 2011 Polar Music Prize. This book was the winner of the National Book Award. Patti Smith is a writer, performer, and visual artist. Woven through this book are reflections on the writer's craft and on artistic creation. Braiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated with her signature Polaroids, this book is a meditation on travel, detective shows, literature, and coffee. It is a powerful, deeply moving book by one of the most remarkable multiplatform artists at work today. The book also contains 53 black and white drawings. There is also some pencil underlining on several pages. Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's craft and on artistic creation, as well as singular memories of Smith's life in Michigan, and the irremediable loss of her husband, Fred Sonic Smith. Derived from a Kirkus review: Iconic poet, writer, and artist Smith articulates the pensive rhythm of her life through the stations of her travels. Spending much of her time crouched in a corner table of a Greenwich Village cafe sipping coffee, jotting quixotic notes in journals, and "plotting my next move," the author reflects on the places she's visited, the personal intercourse, and the impact each played on her past and present selves. She describes a time in 1978 when she planned to open her own cafe, but her plans changed following a chance meeting with MC5 guitarist Fred Sonic Smith, who swiftly stole and sealed her heart with marriage and children. A graceful, ruminative tour guide, Smith writes of traveling together with Fred armed with a vintage 1967 Polaroid to Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni in northwest French Guiana, then of solitary journeys to Frida Kahlo's Mexican Casa Azul and to the graves of Sylvia Plath, Jean Genet, and a swath of legendary Japanese filmmakers. After being seduced by Rockaway Beach in Queens and indulgently purchasing a ramshackle bungalow there, the property was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy-though she vowed to rebuild. In a hazy, often melancholy narrative, the author synchronizes past memories and contemporary musings on books, art, and Michigan life with Fred. Preferring to write productively from the comfort of her bed, Smith vividly describes herself as "an optimistic zombie propped up by pillows, producing pages of somnambulistic fruit." She spent seasons of lethargy binge-watching crime TV, arguing with her remote control, venturing out to a spontaneous and awkward meeting with chess great Bobby Fischer, and trekking off to interview Paul Bowles in Tangiers. No matter the distance life may take her, Smith always recovers some semblance of normalcy with the simplistic pleasures of a deli coffee on her Gotham stoop, her mind constantly buoyed by humanity, art, and memory. Not as focused as Just Kids, but an atmospheric, moody, and bittersweet memoir to be savored and pondered. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
